markets continue moderately active and without
material change; as usual at this season, many
mills shut down" and clean up for the new
Wheat crop, but receipts still fair. with COM
paratvcly full stocks in first hands. Primo grades
of Wheat are in constant demand and very strong,
but we again motto want of speculative feeling in
futures; conservative dealers seem to think pre-
sent prices entirely due to manipulation and are
holding off, "Micawber.like," waiting for some
thing to turn up Corn, Rye and Oats are firm.
Eggs are higher and very scarce. Other produce
is without quotable change.
